2013 Management Information Systems Conference

• Why include workforce data in a P-20W SLDS?• What are the relevant types of workforce data?• How can/should education and workforce data

be linked?• What compelling examples of education and

workforce data linkage and use are available for other states to replicate and customize?

• Questions and Answers

OVERVIEW

WHY INCLUDE WORKFORCE DATA

IN AN SLDS?

3


Traditionally, for program evaluation• Career/Technical Education (CTE) follow-up• Evaluation of workforce training programs• Short-term follow-up is common

In a P-20W setting• How many graduates participate in the

Washington workforce?• How do employment characteristics vary by

student major field of study? • Do graduates stay with the same employer they

had while enrolled?• Multi-year follow-up is possible

The share of jobs requiring postsecondary education or training is increasing• Success in employment is a critical element in

evaluating the effectiveness of education and training programs

• Awareness of employment outcomes of specific programs can help guide education and career decisions [careerbridge.wa.gov]

Critical questions (examples from K-12)• How do employment and enrollment after high

school relate to employment patterns established during high school?

• What are the workforce outcomes for completers of a particular program in my school? (Career/Technical Education)

WHAT ARE THE RELEVANT TYPES OF WORKFORCE DATA?

9


Unemployment Insurance (UI) Wage Data (the gold mine!)• Total wages and hours worked• Employee name, SSN, employer account number

UI Claimant Data• Individuals with 680 hours of covered employment

in a base yearEmployer characteristics (added to wage record)

• Industry, Ownership (private, government, foreign)• Number of employees• Location

Workforce training program participantsK-12 Staff (collected by SEA), Retirement data

HOW CAN/SHOULD EDUCATION AND

WORKFORCE DATABE LINKED?

13


SSN is the key to linking• Data quality strategies:

o Use name information o Removing from matching files the SSNs associated with

employment before an individual was old enough to worko Screening education records for SSNs issued before an

individual was bornEnhancing the percentage of cohort with SSN

• SSNs linked from other education sectors• Non-education data sources (driver license, state

ID)Emphasis on de-identified data sets and

summary data

14


What can/should be done with workforce data?• Analysis of workforce outcomes for program

completers: High school graduates, CTE completers, degree recipients, dropouts and “stop-outs”

o Percent remaining in the state to worko Industry of employment and change over timeo Wage trajectories, number of employers over multi-year

spans• Workforce characteristics of enrolled students: High

school students, college students, financial aid recipients

o How many students are employed while enrolled in high school or college?

o How does employment during high school relate to employment after high school?

• Workforce analysis of teachers who leave teaching


15


What can’t be done with workforce data?• From Washington UI wage data, we do not know:

o Employment outside of Washingtono Federal, military, postal service employmento Occupationo Distribution of wages within a quartero Different jobs or positions for a single employero Specific employee locations for multi-site employers

• Linking to workforce data (other than teacher data from SEA) is not possible without employee SSN

Level of Reporting

• New FERPA regulations allow for feedback reports to the previous institution, at the individual level.

• Current workforce regulations only allow for aggregates to be reported. For these data to be used effectively by providers of workforce training, individual level data are needed.

WHAT EXAMPLES OF EDUCATION AND WORKFORCE

DATA LINKAGE AND USE ARE AVAILABLE TO BE

REPLICATED AND CUSTOMIZED?

20


EXAMPLES OF WORKFORCE DATA USE: WASHINGTON

21

P-20W and CTE – a perfect match• Indicator 5S1 – Secondary Placement

o Denominator (the cohort): Number of CTE concentrators who left secondary education during the reporting year

o Numerator: Number in the cohort who were “placed” in postsecondary education or training, or in employment in a specific post-exit quarter

o Washington uses P-20W data (Washington public postsecondary enrollment, National Student Clearinghouse, and UI wage data) to develop this indicator

COUNTPERCEN

T OF TOTAL

Total regular high school graduates, 2009 (most of 2008-09 cohort) ~61,700

Total evaluated for workforce participation (73% of grads) ~45,100 100%

Total with earnings 76%

Total with earnings during last two years of high school* 62%

Earnings during school year 57%

Earnings during summer 2008 only 6%

Earnings post-high school* 57%*These two categories are not mutually exclusive, so totals may add to more than 100%.
